How can we help and support you to STOP SMOKING using Hypnotherapy.

Most people I know who smoke wish they didn’t. Do you live with the constant worry and lingering doubts and fears about a serious illness that might be just around the corner? That feeling of guilt, shame and hopelessness about having to stop smoking (including the occasional recreational smoking of other substances).

There is plenty of reasons for and excuses why, this persistent and addictive habit seems to overpower that decision to STOP SMOKING.

Most smokers live in complete denial about what they are doing to themselves and to those around them, who they love and care for.

Eventually that realisation comes into their current reality. The distress and angst that their decision to smoke is affecting those around them.

The constant nagging from family, peers or their employer causing added stress and anxiousness. The lingering worry in the back of their head of developing a serious medical condition, or terminal illness such as, auto-immune disease, heart attack, stroke or cancer.

Maybe you have had a self- realisation of it affecting your health, fitness and wellbeing. In saying that, one must realise even if someone wants you to give up smoking, unless it's your own desire to make change, it probably won't work for you. (Nobody wants to be told what to do!!!)

Sometimes the financial stress of keeping this debilitating habit going is the catalyst to seek the help needed to quit smoking.

Some employers find that smokers can seriously affect the productivity of their business, because of the time lost constantly going out to smoke.

ARE YOU READY TO STOP?

If you are reading this article it is a good sign. You are obviously sick of smoking and unhappy enough to be looking for a solution to stop this habit that has taken control of your life.

Great.... you have found the right place! There is no need to look any further.

Rosalie Cronin- Clinical Hypnotherapist- offers you the opportunity to take control of your life back. You have the choice of either an individual STOP SMOKING PROGRAMME tailored to your needs, or a 3 week GROUP SESSION.

Many people just like you, have found the success they were looking for.

They have found the supported programmes empowering in so many ways, integrating the many changes and enjoying the benefits of profound change.

My clients find the benefits of significant results in a very short time. Blood pressure decreases, the level of carbon monoxide in the blood drops to normal, in a day or two nicotine is completely out of the system, and oxygen can more easily reach your heart and muscles. Your immune system can recover so that your body can fight infection more easily. Breathing becomes easier and coughing and wheezing decreases... Your risk of cancer, heart attack and stroke begins to decrease immediately. Your level of fitness begins to increase, as does your finances....

Did you know that if you spend in excess of $20.00 per day, you would save close to $10,000 or more a year! Think of the things you would rather spend that money and time on like a holiday, a new car, clothes etc.

You will feel much better about yourself having successfully ridden yourself of this habit. Your anxiety and stress levels will decrease having succeeded, as well as those of your family.

Experience a new sense of freedom. Finally letting go of all the anxiety of the past which is connected to the fearful anxious and guilt ridden activity of smoking. You will come to realise that smoking had nothing to do with relaxation and the imagined stress relief remedy.

You have nothing left to lose, book online now for your FREE 30 MINUTE CONSULTATION. Rosalie will ensure that hypnotherapy is a safe and plausible option for you. She can discuss both the individual and group Stop Smoking programme with you at this first appointment. There is no obligation to you to take part, just an opportunity to make a start.

Creativity Matters: Children's Creativity Workshops in April

Children need time for unstructured child imaginative play unencumbered by strict parental supervision and that doesn’t depend on a lot of commercial stuff even the simplest of boxes, packets, mesh bags and some poster paints are enough to fuel the creativity into an expression of pleasure and fun, I am always amazed how children seem to just go into the zone so easily .I think we need to watch how children play to inspire ourselves to play and have fun.Such simple pleasures are a source of great satisfaction as each project comes to completion and the feelings of self achievement can be awe inspiring and then begin the process again.

Creative mess can take a lot of room or a lot of time so take the time to create a space in the home that your child has all the resources he needs and can go to and spontaneously create his own masterpiece.

Coming up with their own ideas, and their own way of doing things is a process. Don’t get into the habit of pointing out what ideas aren’t possible or decide for him which ideas are best. The process of creating is about generating new ideas ,making mistakes , and seeing something fail.you may think this a harsh approach.Children need to fail,it is a good lesson in problem solving. Maybe re-doing, remaking and finding new ways of doing it differently and finding new resources are key into them finding their own solutions and in the learning of this creates the confidence they need to apply it in other areas as well.

Some child researches have noted that children who are afraid of failure, judgement and criticism-will curb their creative thought to fit in with the pressures to be more in fitting and acceptable therefore not developing their own self resiliency.

Talk to your children and take them to meet your favourite artists,musicians,scientists. Share your passions.art galleries,exhibitions ,handmade markets, cooking, involve them in creative homemaking or your hobbies including handcrafts so that they have endless opportunities to explore and make decisions for themselves about what gives them the most joy and then creating their own self fulfilling masterpiece in whatever form it takes.

I Love the saying "out of the chaos comes something beautiful"

It reminds me to stand back and allow our children to make mistakes and explore their ideas and do what they want in their own creative world and not what we want.

Encourage them to make mistakes and fail ,encourage them to find more than one solution and then even another, so that they can find that creative problem solving can be fun and enjoyable and extremely liberating Even externally setting up limitations like colouring between the lines can reduce flexibility in thinking differently in the creative process.

Finally stop caring about what your children achieve and emphasise new ways of doing things, finding their own creative solutions while in the process of having fun.
